Ramiro Rodriguez
I am the son of Mexican immigrants who arrived in Texas in the mid-1940s and eventually settled in southwestern Michigan in the early 60s. My family’s support, stories, and words have inspired and played a significant role in the themes of my artworks.
I received a B.F.A. from Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and an M.F.A. in painting from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition, I have studied serigraph printing with Malaquias Montoya and have worked with Master Printer Joseph Segura.
I live in South Bend, Indiana, and am the Chief Art Preparator at the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame. I am a member of the Consejo Grafico Nacional, an independent network of Latino print workshops formed to advance the legacy and viability of Latino printmaking in the United States.
